Announcing an improved, Arabic version of my latest WordPress plugin, Contact Coldform. The new version features complete UTF-8 compatibility and has been completely translated to the Arabic language. Here is a detailed breakdown of changes made for the Arabic version:
- Completely translated to Arabic
- Encoded in
UTF-8without BOM - Emails now sent in HTML format
- Added line breaks in HTML format
- Right-to-left text presentation
- Customized layout for Arabic
- Full
UTF-8support
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the generous help of:
- Rasheed, for translating the plugin to Arabic
- Mustafa Saadi, for doing everything else ;)
For more information, check out the original thread at ar-wp.com (404 link removed 2013/02/27). There you may obtain more information and also download the Arabic version of Contact Coldform. You may also download the Arabic version via the Coldform home page.

Hello Jeff,
I have to say it is going to be the most popular contact form plugin through arabic blogs.
Do you think to localize it ?
Adding some more features like (contact reason from the dropdown menu) ?
Thanks

Yes I will do my best to localize the plugin for the next release. The response so far has been incredible. Thanks to some great input, there are quite a few improvements (including the drop-down menu you suggest) that will be implemented for the next release. The trick, of course, is finding time for the work. Hopefully soon.. ;)

Thanks allot ;)
it’s perfect.
I used to translate my plug-ins myself but now I’ve got it done by some one else :D

Absolutely! Shouts out to Rasheed for translating the plugin to Arabic! :D

Hey thanks. I’m still waiting for an expected update release. A simple recoding and few features added would make this plugin hit the tops.

Yes, working on it.. Now that I have finished with my redesign, I should be able to find some time here soon. Keep in mind that WordPress plugin development is something I do freely in order to help the community. Unfortunately, feeding the family is generally a priority when it comes to setting the schedule.. ;) Nonetheless, I do enjoy it immensely and will do my best to update my plugins soon..

Hello Jef,
After upgrading to 2.8.1 I can’t open the contact coldform options page:
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
I see this error in multiply blogs.
Thanks.

I have the same problem as Rasheed. How to solve it?
Jeff Starr – July 17, 2009
Hi guys, thanks for alerting me to this. There have been some changes in WordPress 2.8.1 that seem to be causing the issue. I will be updating the plugin early next week after returning to the office. Will post again here when it’s available.

Thanks Jeff.
